Buying a Home
|
How It All Started: During a recent home-buying experience, I looked at one house and knew it was the home to raise my family. With so many tools available online to research homes, I didn’t need traditional realty services to become educated with the market. The realtor received a significant commission for doing very little work. The motivation behind Echo Realty is that the buyer should be rewarded for doing the research a traditional realtor might otherwise do for you. Echo Realty was founded on the principal that the traditional manner of doing real estate business is changing. The advent of the internet has seen widespread changes in how people buy and sell homes. We provide services that better fit today’s changing real estate needs. Echo Realty offers an innovative and exiting method that is sure to suit your needs, and most importantly, SAVE YOU MONEY!
How it works: When you sign up to work with Echo Realty, we’ll give you an incentive based on the work you do to research and find the home of your dreams.
What’s the catch? There is none! Echo Realty is able to offer this incentive based on volume. Since you are a buyer that knows what they want, Echo Realty does not have to become a taxi service driving you around to neighborhoods for days on end. Instead, you the buyer can do this work on your own time, at your own pace with no high-pressure sales person trying to force a sale by spending less time helping you find a house, we can help more individuals find a home. Also, because we are an independent agency, we don’t incur the high franchising and office fees of other real estate brokers.
Who pays for this? When a seller lists a home with a realtor, they agree to pay a commission to sell their home. That commission is split between agent that lists your house and the agent that finds the buyer. We’re giving you a portion of our commission for the work you’ve done! *This rebate program is only available when the cooperating broker commission is greater than One Point Eight Percent (1.8%). Buyer rebate only applies to home purchases greater than $100,000. Buyer is required to sign a buyer agency agreement in order to receive rebate.
